It’s a building site at the moment but this awesome video flythrough show just how spectacular Plymouth’s £48million cinema complex will look when it is finished.

British Land, the property giant behind the Drake Circus Leisure development at Bretonside, has produced this breathtaking animation – in its own way as stunning as the blockbuster movies the multiplex will eventually screen – to give Plymothians a glimpse of the future.

The video reveals the scale and positioning of the multiplex building, which will contain a 12-cinema picture house containing the South West’s first IMAX screen.

British Land changed its plans before construction began to reduce the number of restaurant outlets from 16 to 14, but increase the size of some of them.
